Don’t Ride Bull, Instead Dismount: Fast Money Pros

Stocks closed at multi-year highs on Thursday, with the S&P 500 ending at its highest level since before the collapse of Lehman Brothers.

The rally was broad, with more than three-fourths of stocks listed on both the New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq ending higher.

Materials, financials and industrials - groups tied to the pace of economic growth - led with gains of more than 2 percent, giving the Dow its biggest daily gain in two months and helping the Nasdaq advance to its highest since 2000.

Pros: Don't Be Deceived by Monster Rally

If you're looking to ride the bull ahead of the next leg higher, the Fast Money pros say dismount, quickly.

With a market move like this, you may be tempted to hit the buy button ahead of the next leg higher, but the pros says that’s not the way to trade this market.

“I’m a little bit skeptical,” reveals trader Karen Finerman, president of Metropolitan Capital “Is the whole European thing over?” She doesn’t think so. “I took a little money off the table.”

Pro trader Keith McCullough, CEO of Hedgeye Risk Management ended the day short. Yes short. “What’s really changed in the last 48 hours? Nothing.” McCullough thinks the euphoria is overdone. “And only one day earlier FedEx told us things were slowing down," he reminds. I’m a seller.”

Only trader Josh Brown, author of The Reformed Broker blog, is more bullish and he’s only modestly bullish. “We’re seeing yields on Spanish and Italian bonds come in. That suggests we’re not going to have a catastrophe in September.” But Brown thinks at current levels, the market is fairly valued.
